ARM: 8451/1: v7-M: Set an early stack for __v7m_setup

On ARM v7-M, when PROCINFO_INITFUNC (__v7m_setup) is called,
a stack is needed before calling the supervisor call (SVC),
which is used by the supervisor call to save the context.

Currently, __v7m_setup() prepares a temporary stack in the .text.init
section, which is is broken if the kernel is executing directly from
read-only memory.

In particular, this is the case for LPC43xx, which allows
to execute the kernel in-place from a serial flash through its SPIFI
controller.

This commit fixes the issue by seting an early stack to its usual location.

Also, __v7m_setup() is currently saving and restoring the previous
stack. That was bogus, because there's no stack previously set,
so this commit removes it.
